Sweet!
But why .ogg?

Edit: Link seems dead...

Don't worry, i'll rape them into .mp3 so my crappy cell phone can play them.

But pretty much everything else around here is .mp3 or .flac so I was wondering if there is something that's better with .ogg...

deleted

Okay, hopefully more will start supporting the more efficient formats, or maybe I can find some other app for music on my cell phone...

How did you rip these, anyway? Just wondering.

deleted

Just standard PSP ripping procedure I developed over the course of about two years... ;) All is 100% digital extraction and conversion on the PC. Several programs and self-written scripts are involved.

Ah, cool. Could you please post these files in the format they were directly in the ISO, then? I'm a bit of a nerd when it comes to the direct formats =P

deleted

I could embrace you for this! =) There are way too little people who are after the original unchanged formats! You should look into my streamed VGM thread, I always upload the original files (except PSP)!
I added the link to the *.aa3 files above. The smpl areas for decoded wave files are also included. =) Playing the files with WMP is sometimes possible with the atrac 3 codec installed, but it doesn't support all formats. KMPlayer supports some formats more but no mono for example. :-\ Only possibility I've found is to decode the files with Sony SoundForge Pro. Has a batch converter included (in the Tools menu).
If you are interested in helping me ripping source files, I'd greatly appreciate that! PSP games are mostly very easy to rip. Just drop me a message if you're interested to contribute to my project! =)

Thanks. Sorry if it sounded like I'm good with this sort of thing, I just like archiving the direct audio stuff. But, if they're "very easy to rip" as you say, I'll gladly give it a look. There are far too many good games that didn't get official soundtrack releases/only got partial ones.

Double posting, but anybody else interested in naming these songs? Sorta like the Collaborative Gamerip projects we occasionally have... I have some names done.

(mov) pw_kariendroll_A_latest_en = "Sing"
(mov) pw_kariendroll_B_latest_en = "Heavens Divide"
(mov) pw_op_ENG = "Perpetual Peace" (I named it after the book that the intro in the opening is from)
BGM_74 = "Snake Eater -piano instrumental-" (the song everybody's probably looking for)

ARRRRRGGGGG!!! The OGG link has been unavailable forever....

Finally!!! Thanks Alpha!!!

You can use Sony Sound Forge to convert them, I believe.

sorry to double post i have played these tracks and would like to say thank you so much for your amazing work of course it would be sweet if you could help me convert them into mp3 :) but i just would like to know why some of the music is repeated for example there are 4 of the same tracks and also would it be possible to rip some of the other tracks that were not included because there are a couple i was looking for that was not included but thanks for your amazing work :)

deleted

thanks alot for your assistance
i believe im looking for the one that plays during the retaliation cut scene and the false data one,there was another one that played when paz hijacked zeke
but there is also one im looking for that plays in the strangelove tapes you can also hear it in this cutscene YouTube - Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker - [25] Nicaragua (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yO2bDkoKZ2c&feature=related) it starts at about 1:45 and finishes at 3:40
thanks :)

sorry for posting on a pold thread, but it may be possible to change some of the tracks in game? for example changing (mov) pw_kariendroll_A_latest_en (1:59) to this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVjIR1rM0ac&feature=player_detailpage#t=143s

where's something you maight not like, but music during cutscenes cannot be ripped without voiceovers for a simple reason, it comes on a single audio file... specially considering all mgs games, the in-game music can be ripped no problem... for example on mgs2 if you rip the track when solidus flies on the harrier you got all sounds and voices, but if you rip music from a stage you got your clean music... or sometimes bgm have some background sounds like most of mgs2's tanker engine parts and twin snakes outdoor bgm. hope konami will release this on some dlc or maybe the game gots an ngp re-release and we got a complete ost

hmmm i see thanks for the info
but if that's the case then how was he able to extract the snake eater piano instrumental music from a cutscene that had alot of voiceovers?

because that part is a game play element it has the flashing buttoms and if you fail the scene restarts but the music remains the same, and if you listen closelly the full version of that song is much longer, but its like the rest of the movie's audio with voices and sfx...

Hey this topic seems recent so i don't mind bumping it.

So, is this a game rip? because i don't know quite what "streamed VGM" means.

But the main reason i want to bump this thread is because i want to ask, is there any tracks from the game that didn't make it into the final original soundtrack and if they are in this rip? I'm a completest so when i get a soundtrack to a game i like i want to make sure i have every track and sometimes retail OSTs don't have every track.

Thanks for awnsering.

there's one link down... :(

i will upload the mp3 version of this if anyone is interested...

If you don't mind. Alpha23 isn't coming back until august.

Shame i would've liked to have heard his secret to psp rips.

Can someone also help me out with my post above?

i will upload the mp3 version shortly. as for your previous concern, well,
i think some tracks from this rip didn't make it on the OST. Also, the OST
is missing a lot of cutscene music, so yea... this rip is also missing some
cutscene music, i might rip those, but don't know when lol

OK, here is the MP3 version that some people requested from this rip:
click here, megaupload link (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=K6X0C24Q) (215.27MB)
no password, rar archive

Enjoy! :)

I don't know what method he uses, but it's not really a secret.
You have to open the UMD iso in UMDGen and extract the aa3/at3
audio files and go from there to convert them with other tools like
Sony atrac tools and sound forge i think.

If the umd iso doesn't directly have the aa3/at3 files in a folder,
then you have to find the raw (binary) archive containing the music.
It is usually called pspsnd or something like that. Once you extract
that, use a software like FileScan3 (or ScanFile3) to locate the aa3/at3
files within the archive and from there you will need some extractor,
either manually doing it using hex skills (hex editor) or using a software
like FileScan3 that also has an export option... anyway :)

Thanks allot for the conversion and infomation!

let us know when the cutscene music is ripped.

Amazing, and maybe a dumb question, but with the HD Collection coming out, would the tracks in the HD version of Peace Walker be any better? I imagine so, and have you covered Portable Ops?

Well it's not a dumb question, I was wondering that myself. I mean what is HD anyway?
If HD is the whole thing, then it HAS to have HD music, otherwise, it's not a complete HD rendition.

Any chance I could get the links to these? Everything has been deleted.

Does anyone possibly still have the original .ogg files that Alpha23 posted? There's a few particular tracks that I've been wanting to obtain as they were never officially released.
